I have a project with a large array of servo drives, as part of the setting up sequence i want to follow the way robot's work during teach mode - ideally during setup reducing all the drives into a "reduced power/speed" mode and allow access into the hazard zone without tripping the lazer scanner protecting the area.
My main thought however is how do you safely set a drive to "reduced power/speed" etc, i can set a definative input on the CNC controller to overide any commands from the program but can it be classed as safe if you are relying on the CNC controller?
How do robot manufactures get around verifiying its safety??
I would be keen to know if any one has had any similar issues in the past or has any suggestions??
